Hi. I’m using PDF Creator free version from a long time ago. Today i updated to 3.0.1 version. I want to save the PDF into the same folder where the original file is located. With my older versión it were possible (Whan i clicked on “Save”, the program opened a explorer window showing the content of the original path and then i should click on “Save” on that window to finally save the new file) but after the update i cant make this to work on the same way. It’s possible? Thanks

Clearly 3.x has saving issues. You don’t get the Save As dialog box that EVERY OTHER PRODUCT ON THE PLANET gives you when you go to save a file. It’s ridiculous. It really feels like they’re trying to force us to pay for Plus. I will NEVER be forced into paying for a product because of a poor design. They have to show me their product is worth it and design defects or flat out bugs aren’t the way to show me.

sorry this was overlooked during the redesign. We used to use a standard Windows save file dialog which automatically had this functionality. For PDFCreator 3 we use a custom dialog on the print job window, which doesn’t store the last save location by default. We will add this back as soon as possible.

Why in the would would you reinvent the wheel? 3.x absolutely stinks because of this. There’s a reason why pretty much 99.99% of apps use the standard Windows Save-As dialog box. Your new one has LESS functionality than Windows 1.0’s Save-As dialog box in the mid-1980s. Why don’t you focus on creating PDFs and NOT reinventing the wheel. Seriously, there’s a reason square wheels never took off, they don’t work. Your custom dialog window should be totally removed from the product and never brought back.

In there you can tell it to skip their useless custom dialog box and go straight to the industry standard Save As dialog box. It also doesn’t require a paid subscription. I was able to install 2.5.3 on top of 3.0.1 with it preserving my settings. Solved my problems.

we didn’t intend to invent a new save file dialog, the intention was to merge the save file dialog with the print dialog to save a click. The functionality of remembering the last saved folder will be added back with the next bug fix update.
